Where the spices are

I was watching the Good Eatsfruitcake episode last night which features a segment where he visits a spice shop. So it got me thinking: with all the variety of cuisine and the long culinary tradition in Charleston, why isn't there a decent spice shop around? And if there is, why haven't I found it yet?

So what's up? Where, besides the local grocery store, are you supposed to go for good quality spices and people who know what they're selling?

The best place that I've seen (overall) is Whole Foods. I try to avoid the place (where grocery shopping resembles a car payment) - but they have alot of bulk spices already packaged that are pretty decent. It's the best selection that I've seen around here.
